That explains a lot

I was sent a link to this cartoon:

By God’s grace, I’ll not have this problem.
 
Dilbert also explains a lot about my struggles with blogging:

Coming to the Doctrines of Grace

When I first read John Piper’s little book (based upon a lecture series on preaching) I was amazed and transfixed upon God’s glory and the goal of, not just preaching, but of everything. I had never taken this into consideration before. As I read, I came across quotes from men like Robert Murray M’Cheyene, Jonathan [...]

Sorry gang, it’s been a busy week

Now there’s a likely excuse if I ever heard one, and believe me, I hear it often…
…coming out of my own mouth!
Like, take the last seven days, for instance: an elderly woman spends weeks in hospice, the last 12 of which were classified as “Last Days Watch”. This meant frequent trips to Seasons Hospice, to [...]

Some “fun reads” for the day

I’ll be conducting a funeral service this Saturday. Etta was a beleiver, so the “homegoing send-off” will be good, but there is always the grief for those of us who remain and groan. So, in light of that upcoming time, I thought I’d link to a little levity today:
Tominthebox News is a new link for [...]

Disagreeing With Tozer is Treacherous Ground

I realize that I’m treading on thin ice here (and trust, it’s April in Minnesota and even though it’s snowing today [I blame Al Gore]; the ice is certainly thin). Disagreeing with one like A.W. Tozer is indeed treacherous. Yet, in a daily devotion I receive in my email each day, this is a portion [...]

The Easter Curmudgeon

Yes, the curmudgeon in me is back again. And this time, it’s Easter.
I’m really wondering what this:
and this:
have to do with Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday?
I know, all kinds of people will tell me about the symbolism of the egg for Easter. I still don’t get it. If an egg represents new [...]

How God Saved a Sinner

My parents were 1st generation Christians; neither set of their parents truly knew the Lord. Mom & Dad were converted to Christ through the ministry of Highland Park Evangelical Free Church in Des Moines, Iowa when they were about 16 years old. They committed themselves to serving the Lord and raising godly children. I remember [...]

Blogging… Take 2

Well, I’m back. After a hiatus of over 5 months, I’ve decided to re-enter the blog-o-sphere again. I trust that it will make such a splash as to cause tidal waves all over the internet. My hopes are to create such a stir that even Tim Challies trembles a bit. My dreams for this blog [...]
